[Bug 1571422] [NEW] Unable to install grub

[Puneet Singh]

Public bug reported:

I was trying to replace my old Ubuntu 14.04 installation with the new
one, and I also wanted to format over my CentOS 6.6 installation. It
seems like installation went fine, but it failed right at the end,
saying that it was not able to install grub boot loader on the specified
partition.
